It’s been a while, but I was in Tokyo for a week and then didn’t get to see the house in daylight when I had the camera to hand for a bit.
So, the roof frame was built, eventually covered in weatherproof tyvek and the hole where the window will go was boarded up – it’s not a very good insulator on it’s own is that tyvek and board – house is now very cold.
Another brick less in the wall
They started to take the inner wall down now that they’ve done the brick work. Window still in place though (this was just after I’d returned from Tokyo). All the rubble is plied up inside the bedroom as we don’t have a skip outside yet.
Why have only one roof
The old kitchen roof is still there, with the new one above it. Lots of natural light in the room during the daytime, bit dark and cold at night.
Roof poking over scaffold
You can just about make out the top of the new roof poking over the top of the scaffold (a taller photographer would have got more in). Not yet tiled yet as we haven’t seen the samples at this point.
Looking better already
From the front you can see that it already looks better, with the flat roof gone and a nicely tied in roof replacing it. The tiler has started to re-use some of the tiles, but the ones from the kitchen roof are a different shape and colour so they can’t be used easily on the front – going to have to choose some different ones.
